  2. Load bank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_bank

    A load bank is a piece of electrical test equipment used to simulate an electrical load, to test an electric power source without connecting it to its normal operating load. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] During testing, adjustment, calibration, or verification procedures, a load bank is connected to the output of a power source, such as an electric generator ...

  3. Inrush current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current

    A discharged or partially charged capacitor appears as a short circuit to the source when the source voltage is higher than the potential of the capacitor. A fully discharged capacitor will take approximately 5 RC time periods to fully charge; during the charging period, instantaneous current can exceed steady-state current by a substantial ...

  4. E series of preferred numbers - Wikipedia

    To calculate the E192 series: is 192, then is incremented from 0 to 191 through the formula, with one exception for = where 9.20 is the official value instead of the calculated 9.19 value. Since some values of the E24 series do not exist in the E48, E96, or E192 series, some resistor manufacturers have added missing E24 values into some of ...

  5. Bleeder resistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleeder_resistor

    In electronics, a bleeder resistor, bleeder load, leakage resistor, capacitor discharge resistor or safety discharge resistor is a resistor connected in parallel with the output of a high-voltage power supply circuit for the purpose of discharging the electric charge stored in the power supply's filter capacitors when the equipment is turned off, for safety reasons.

  6. Marx generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx_generator

    Consequently, the second gap breaks down to add the third capacitor to the "stack", and the process continues to sequentially break down all of the gaps. This process of the spark gaps connecting the capacitors in series to create the high voltage is called erection. The last gap connects the output of the series "stack" of capacitors to the load.

  7. Parasitic extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitic_extraction

    In electronic design automation, parasitic extraction is the calculation of the parasitic effects in both the designed devices and the required wiring interconnects of an electronic circuit: parasitic capacitances, parasitic resistances and parasitic inductances, commonly called parasitic devices, parasitic components, or simply parasitics.

  8. Static VAR compensator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_VAR_compensator

    Typically, an SVC comprises one or more banks of fixed or switched shunt capacitors or reactors, of which at least one bank is switched by thyristors. Elements which may be used to make an SVC typically include: Thyristor-controlled reactor (TCR), where the reactor may be air- or iron-cored; Thyristor-switched capacitor (TSC) Harmonic filter(s)

  9. Synchronous condenser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_condenser

    The reactive power produced by a capacitor bank is in direct proportion to the square of its terminal voltage, and if the system voltage decreases, the capacitors produce less reactive power, when it is most needed, [2] while if the system voltage increases the capacitors produce more reactive power, which exacerbates the problem. In contrast ...
